It is said that Internet celebrities and big Vs are in the traffic business, as are Disney and Marvel.
In the year of the epidemic, Yang Li relied on the topic of gender to break out of the talk show circle. She left a famous saying of the year in 2020: This woman has something. To borrow Yang Li's words, what is there in this "Black Widow"?
The idea of the series of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is not always continuous, always continuous. Which hero is popular and has high traffic can die and come back to life. Parallel universe is one way of playing, and flashback is another. "Black Widow" is a flashback on the timeline of Marvel Universe. Black Widow is gone, and Marvel lets you hear the story of Black Widow's past.
In 1995, the Cold War was over. The black widow, who is still a little girl, and her "sister" Yelena were sent to the "Red House", a Russian spy organization. Then, 21 years later, the little girl grew up and became a Black Widow. She was tracked down by the Avengers organization, this is not important, it is not the focus of this film. The main plot is that the red house chases and kills her. She finds out the truth, finds out the past, and kills the red house with her "family".
It's the way of a special agent film, but in the second decade of the 21st century, it's a bit reluctant to pursue the Cold War. And it's actually very progressive, especially with the times, it's a feminist film. Heroines, leading actresses, women directors, stories of women's persecution, Scarlett Johansson's sonorous voice is still in my ears: Black Widow is, of course, a feminist!
Therefore, the legacy of the Cold War is just a background board for tools, and MeToo and Timesup are the more important background. Complaining, anti-control, awakening of consciousness, what you want to express is really important. It's so important that I can't help but question Marvel, why did it not launch until today?
The Red House only recruits women, brainwashing women, turning them into female agents and cold-blooded killers. Controlling a person, relying on medicine, liberating a person, giving the antidote, and getting it instantly, this method is very familiar, I have seen it too many times in the childhood martial arts stories. The film is more martial arts than martial arts. It does not require reaction time for the medicine to take effect. Maybe western medicine is more powerful than traditional Chinese medicine, or science fiction western medicine.
Why is this set up? Probably understandable. So, can it be set like this? Does drama need logic? Do movies need a reason? Can ideas be more important than reality? Is it necessary to be true to science fiction, martial arts, and fantasy?
Yes, bad dramas don't need to care about logic. With the support of a huge number of fans, there is a more correct concept and trend cover, and you can care less.
People should not be tools, women should not be tools. In order to express what should be (value), regardless of what is (fact) within the play, a large number of characters are used as tools. This constitutes a kind of paradox, a self-defeating contradiction.
In Scarlett Johansson's understanding, the previous Black Widow was overly sexualized. If "Black Widow" is regarded as a product of awakening, or, in other words, with awakening consciousness, the instrumental tendency of the whole film is difficult to forgive. It cannot be said that immunity is granted for the idea now expressed that is more correct than the previous use of the desire gaze.
There are several jokes in the film. For example, when the Avengers were needed, they disappeared. Yelena complained that Black Widow loves to pose as an official barrage. Unfortunately, if there is no further or other jokes, such as the setting, the theme, or a little bit, its story may instead gain the legitimacy of dramatic logic due to deconstruction.
But "Black Widow"'s humor is circumspect and poised. The same goes for the action scenes. The fierce fight between two people is not bloody. After watching it for a while, it even reminds me of the quintessence of the country. It is like a trick on the stage.
Fake family and true emotions are based on the American family values that Hollywood has always promoted. The vulgarity is vulgar, and it is not in-depth, but it still has some effects, so that the film does not completely give way to the concept, leaving some emotions that do not lose the sense of reality, and also makes the plot framework have some reliable human fulcrum.
When Black Widow's tombstone appears in the easter egg, I think it's better not to give this film two stars, three stars. The dead are great.
